If you have other choices definitely consider them. Walden is for profit and has no desire to see you succeed. They want your money and could careless about life Unexpectancy. My spouse emptied my bank account and I had to take drastic measures. Walden was not interested or willing to work with me. Save your $45,000 or enroll somewhere else. You won't regret it.

Degree:
Early Childhood Education

Graduation Year:
2015

Do not attend here. Professors can ask you to submit work over and over and thus slowing down your graduation time into extra years. I had multiple college professors proofing my papers against their rubric before I sent them into Walden and my assignments still didn't pass. I complained to get a resolution at Walden and they sided with the professors. I then discovered reviews of so many others who had it happen to them as well so I quit before they did it to me anymore. Check out google for complaints like this and see for yourself. I never graduated but put 2015 under year graduated above because it wouldn't let me leave a review without a date. Do not attend Walden. Do not ever attend Walden. I work at a college and constantly warn my students to not attend Walden.

Online education is not for everyone. You have to be on top of everything from financial aid to your required courses. Like everything in life we have the choice this Walden online educational course works great for me. You will get out whatever time and commitment you put in. I'm working on chapter 4 and 5 of my Dissertation. If I need assistance my Doctor,research department and the writing are all available to assist me in any way they can. No different than a physical university.

Degree:
Nursing Assistant/Aide and Patient Care Assistant/Aide

Graduation Year:

Excellent program. Strong professors. Considering a doctorate from here. The online program was more challenging then my friends who attended classroom programs in nearby universities. My degree had real world application. I highly recommend this program.

VERY unsatisfied prospect-
October 23, 2015

Degree:
Psychology

Graduation Year:
2015

These people are a JOKE. I spent my hard earned money ATTEMPTING to apply to this place. But this was a joke from the get go. NO ONE tried to help me with the application process. EVERYTIME I called my "so-called" adviser wasn't available. Then I switched advisors. She was even more of a joke. Names are A.M and A.B. Run away from these people. Don't even waste your time requesting information. Trust me. They're a big joke.

I don't think so-
October 11, 2015

Degree:
Small Business Administration/Management

Graduation Year:
2017

This is a very poor school. I would strongly recommend you try others before coming here. This group is indecisive, lacking leadership, and poor management of the process. People here stand no chance of graduating, this is a "for profit" school. You need to think about that and choose an alternative. Walden only cares about one thing and isnt you. MONEY!!! If you want to complete your classes and fail to get a degree this is the school for you. Poorly run, poorly managed, and do not believe the nonsense this school will shovel you regarding the famous fantasy student who flew through the process in 40 weeks. That's a total joke. Anyone who reviews them positively they just havent been here long enough. It's a sad school.

J. Grant-
October 6, 2015

Degree:
Healthcare Management

Graduation Year:
2020

I'm a new student at Walden University and I did my research before I selected them. They transferred more than half of my credits from my AS Degree in Healthcare Administration from Keiser University with no problem. So far I am very happy with their curriculum, the professors, my classes, the funding (although I'll be in debt for the rest of life paying off subsidized and unsubsidized government loans) and I am looking forward to the day I graduate as a Walden graduate with a BS Degree in Healthcare Management. You have to be willing to give 100% or more to succeed, if not it's just a waste of your time and money. Personally, I think it's worth it because I know it will benefit me in the long run and I plan to follow up at Walden to obtain my Master's degree in Healthcare Management. The online courses are just as challenging (or more); and they are an accredited school. You can agree or disagree, but that's just my opinion and I feel blessed to be a student there.

Thank you for your vote!

Al R-

Degree:
Industrial and Organizational Psychology

Graduation Year:
2016

I am a current student at Walden.I conducted several months of research before starting my program. I obtained two degrees from another online school.I really wanted my Masters and Ph.D. from a respected school and quality program which this is. They take the I/O psychology program very serious. I was able to have phone calls with key members of the department before I started. All professors are Ph.D. scholars in this department compared to BA/BS and Masters in other online schools.

Student -
October 3, 2015

Degree:
Teaching English as a Second or Foreign Language/ESL Language Instructor

Graduation Year:
2016

I am in a graduate certificate program. Walden offers coursework and degrees that help you meet your goal. Is it a Harvard or Yale? No. It is Walden University. Take it for the experience that it is. Don't judge. Enter, study, do more than you need to, and learn. Do not expect perfection because only God is perfect. I enjoy Walden and I recommend it. There are many whiny people on this site. Go study.

Reading & Literacy Education Student-
September 29, 2015

Degree:
Reading & Literacy Education

Graduation Year:
2007

I really enjoyed going to an all online school. It was easy for me to work on my school work on my time and not have to worry about going to class. As long as I had access to the internet I could work on my homework anywhere. I could print the readings or just read them online. The papers seemed easy for me to write and I rarely had any trouble getting them done. Overall I was very satisfied with Walden.
